Tea, Pork Pie And Cider: Foods Immigrants Need To Try When In The United Kingdom

Food. Food. Food! It is a basic need and it is something that a person should always have to have the energy to do the things that are required of him or her. But when it comes to food, a lot of people are not used to eating something that they are not familiar with. Talk to immigrants in the United Kingdom and they will share about how living in a new country had them adjusting to the food available in the country.

It is a good thing though that food in the United Kingdom is really not that difficult to adjust to since most of the local cuisine has been globalized and can be found in many parts of the world. However, immigrants who are not used to Western food may find cuisine in the UK to be difficult to adjust to. But since they are living in the UK, they are able to do so and indulge in their own local cuisine from time to time.

Love pie? Immigrants have fallen for pork pies in the UK. Unlike most pies that are made using fruits, this one is baked with ingredients like pork, and gelatin. The crust is made using pastry.
